Currents of Time

Featuring: cats and other animals, more Transformers, some Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, two Wolf's Rain, and a half a million Sailor Moon. Gallery here, as with the last round, it's pretty much all free, aside from shipping. There are some BotCon lithographs that I'd like maybe 5$ for, since they're in good shape and cost a bit, but beyond that? If it doesn't say CLAIMED or (on hold), it's in need of a new home where it will be loved.

(Unlike last round, you are free to claim multiples. There are far too many to bother limiting it to one per.)



... I'm cleaning my room/life, could you tell? Next round of Shit What Jecca Offers Up will probably have slightly more exciting stuff. Though there's also at least one more roll of posters somewhere, I just need to find it...

OKAY HEY SO Because it was cheaper for Aniko for me to get a Primus package and sign her on as my Mini-Con, I'm getting the BotCon toys. I'm not sure I want them, but I suppose the benefit of that is being able to sell them to get back some of the registration fee.

Anyway, you folk, I'm not promising anything - maybe I'll get there and get the set and fall in love with it, you never know - but if anyone thinks they might want any of these guys (including the box, but with the definite exception of the pin, and the probable exception of Kup, because Aniko really likes him, so if I don't want him, she gets him FLATMATE ADVANTAGE SORRY, though maybe she'll change her mind when she sees it in person, so hey), uh. Well, let me know. I won't give them away for free, but I promise I'll charge less than eBay. Not sure what. Probably something between 20 and, at the max, 50 dollars. Or a trade of some sort. (That's each, not total.)

I offer ahead of time because, if I don't like the set, there's a fair chance I won't want to bother hauling it back across the country and will instead try to get rid of pieces of it at the convention. (And if I get back and you've changed your mind, that's fine. NO PROMISES MADE ANYWHERE except that if you want one and I know this, and I don't want it, I do promise not to sell it to the highest bidder or throw it out a window or anything.)

And of course I can't say anything about the at-con exclusives since, you know, no idea whether or not I'll like any of them, and if I don't, I probably won't waste the money.


And again - this isn't a promise. I can't say I won't have a change of heart until after I've got them in my hands.




ABRUPT CHANGE OF SUBJECTS NOW About a mo--- no, a month from now classes will be over ...

...Woah.

Okay, um, anyway, two and a half weeks from now, I am going to be horribly assaulted by writing ideas, and then I will angst because I have to finish up all my schoolwork. For now, I will unhappily work on other schoolwork and wish I had words to go with the plotting I can feel going on in my brain.


This essay. Is so. BORING.

EDIT: ALL GONE.

Have I mentioned yet that we're cleaning the house? No?! Well, let me tell y- *bricked*

...anyway, yes. We're clearing out some books, and I thought I'd offer them off before we give them to the local church for their Book Nook thing.

These are free. I'll pay shipping and everything. The only catch is I'll need to know your address if you want any of them. (Though actually I think I know the addresses of most people that I know to be reading this, so.) Comments on this entry are set to be screened, but if I don't know your address and you leave it in a comment, you might want to leave two comments so I can reply to let you know I've seen it without unscreening your address, even if it'd only be temporarily. Or you could just e-mail it.

( Titles, authors, brief descriptions )

That's all for now. More to come later as we continue the purging, no doubt.

She was a bit of an idiot.


Today I started the incredibly tedious task of ridding myself of several - dare I say, most - of my older writing pieces (all written around the year 2000). Not the cracky stuff I narrated to my mother when I was six (or younger), because that stuff is amusing and BETTER than this stuff.

It is all in pencil, so I'm erasing what I can to salvage some of the journals (I have some very nice journals!) and the rest I am pulling out and tossing. Or maybe burning, because if I burn it, it'll be gone faster.


I am so sick of this stuff. I knew it was awful at the time and it has only become more awful over the years. It must go. I will sleep easier knowing it is gone from this planet. Go, little stories, go. Fly on to a better land.


I do feel bad about this, because I was so determined to save everything, but there is no room and it is so bad that I feel it is justified. It's not like the ideas themselves are gone, and I still have all of the characters I invented. Some of them have moved into different realities or changed their personalities a bit, but they are still the same. And the stuff of it that's fanfiction is a special kind of bad, and appears to ignore several aspects of canon (though, in my younger self's defense, I wasn't aware of all those aspects at the time).

But, you know, it's so bad. I can't read them without feeling embarrassed for Young Jecca, and also if someone were to find and read these I would possibly die because they really are that horrid. At least they aren't self-inserts. (PRAISE whatever region of my brain refuses to deal with creating characters to put into preexisting / Fandom-Based Realities!)


The artwork goes next. :D

Edit:
A stellar example of how awful my writing used to be:
"It was shattered as easily as a glass dropped on a floor would be."

Even ignoring the awkwardness of that line, I WAS TALKING ABOUT A BUILDING. WHAT.

I do not like my writing now, either, but at least it is better than that. Good Lord.

Edit II:
WHY DO I HAVE THREE COPIES OF THIS ONE? They are all hand-written. One is the original (and only complete) copy, written on computer paper... The stack is very thick.

The second is, as near as I can tell, a completely unchanged in any way rewrite in a notebook - or at least the first five-or-so pages (out of, y'know, a few hundred?), anyway. I've erased that, because the notebook is blank, otherwise. The third is in a journal and ALSO completely unchanged (wtf, self?), and currently being erased.

The original can just stay where it is, but, seriously, three copies? Of the same thing? The same really awful thing that I didn't even like while writing? (OH, WOW, THAT SURE NARROWS IT DOWN, JECCA.)
